I am looking at 2 different perspective drives for a retrofit. Formerly I had a sales guy at one particular shop send me a link showing an " outboard " start-stop-speed control box that could be integrated with certain types of drives. I asked him again yesterday to provide me with the link, he avoided the question and I cannot find the unit on their websight. It still could be there in some obscure place. A good bit of the Documentation on some of these drives is very poorly worded, making it difficult to penetrate. In this case I am leaning towards a TECO Westinghouse drive because it has the Analog speed control built in, while the Yaskawa drive was the first unit I was looking at the Tech manual on, and while seemingly well built is not easy to configure. The Yaskawa manual specifies a value for a speed control pot but says nothing at all about where you might obtain one. So I guess one could buy the right value trim pot and put some 22mm operators in a small panel and build up your own control center. Links and suggestions are good. Also it would be good to find a high quality 3 HP drive in a smaller case than what ABB is currently building.
I like their product, but its too large for roll around pumps carts in real terms. Any reviews on Leeson or TECO are helpful.
KB Electronics I would not give a thin dime for. Horrible reliability.
